DataForSEO API Gateway — Run Any DataForSEO Endpoint, No Subscription

Use the full DataForSEO API without a DataForSEO account, subscription, or minimum top-up. Pay only for the calls you make, billed through Apify. Pass an endpoint path + payload and get clean structured JSON back.

DataForSEO is powerful but requires its own account and a prepaid balance. This gateway lets you call any DataForSEO v3 endpoint on demand — perfect for trying it out, low-volume use, or wiring DataForSEO into Apify/Make/n8n/AI-agent workflows without managing another vendor account.

What you can call

Any DataForSEO v3 endpoint, including:

• SERP — serp/google/organic/live/advanced, maps, news, jobs, autocomplete, Bing
• Keywords Data — keywords_data/google_ads/search_volume/live, trends
• DataForSEO Labs — dataforseo_labs/google/keyword_suggestions/live, ranked_keywords, keyword_difficulty, search_intent, competitors_domain, domain_rank_overview
• Backlinks — summary, backlinks, referring_domains, anchors
• On-Page — on_page/instant_pages, lighthouse
• Merchant — Amazon & Google Shopping
• Business Data — Google/Trustpilot/Tripadvisor reviews

How to use it

Single request:

{
  "path": "dataforseo_labs/google/keyword_suggestions/live",
  "payload": { "keyword": "email marketing", "location_code": 2840, "language_code": "en", "limit": 50 }
}

Batch:

{
  "requests": [
    { "path": "serp/google/organic/live/advanced", "payload": { "keyword": "crm software", "location_code": 2840 } },
    { "path": "keywords_data/google_ads/search_volume/live", "payload": { "keywords": ["crm","crm software"], "location_code": 2840 } }
  ]
}

Each row returned contains the endpoint, status_code, the DataForSEO cost (so you always see backend cost), and the parsed result.

Pricing

Flat fee per API call — no subscription, no DataForSEO account needed. Most standard endpoints (SERP, Keywords, Labs, Backlinks, On-Page, Merchant, Business Data) are covered by the per-call price. (A handful of premium AI web-search endpoints have higher backend cost — check the cost field in the output.)

FAQ
